In Ireland, it is a legal requirement under Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 for every employer to have a written Safety Statement. This document outlines the company’s commitment to health and safety, identifies workplace hazards, and sets out the measures in place to control risks.
At Philip & Son Training Consultants (PSTC), we offer professional Safety Statement preparation services for businesses across all sectors. Whether you’re a sole trader, a growing SME, or a multi-site employer, we make the process clear, compliant, and completely tailored to your operation.
A proper Safety Statement is more than a formality — it’s a live document that helps reduce risk, avoid fines, and support a proactive safety culture. It must be based on your workplace risk assessment, reflect the actual hazards in your environment, and show how you control them.
We start by reviewing your workplace setup, staff activities, existing controls, and any prior risk assessments. If you haven’t had one done yet, we can combine this service with a full Workplace Risk Assessment for a complete compliance package.
Our team will then develop a full Safety Statement in line with current legislation and HSA guidance. Your document will be professionally formatted, easy to follow, and customised to your specific work activities, staffing, and site conditions. It will include your safety policy, risk assessment findings, roles and responsibilities, control measures, and emergency plans.
If you already have a Safety Statement but haven’t updated it recently, we can review and revise it — especially if you’ve moved premises, hired more staff, changed business activities, or introduced new equipment.
We’ve worked with businesses in childcare, construction, logistics, education, manufacturing, and the voluntary sector. We know how to translate complex requirements into clear, workable documents that help protect your team and demonstrate compliance.
This service is ideal if you’re preparing for an HSA inspection, renewing your business insurance, onboarding with a new client, or need to satisfy compliance as part of a government or tendering process.
Let PSTC take the guesswork out of compliance — we’ll ensure your Safety Statement is not only legally valid but useful to you and your team.
